Great for the short term

Totally fell in love with the ones I chose, Knight In Armour from the Chrome collection. They are bold and really make a statement. I thought they were a bit flimsy when first playing with them - bearing in mind I'm used to Acrylics, not stick/glue ons. The shape really isnt my thing... but the folks at Teddy Lane thought ahead, and I was able to file them in to a nice rounded square shape once I had trimmed them to a length that was manageable for me. I work in an office and do a lot of typing, unfortunately knocked a couple off just while working. Went out on Saturday night and got loads of comments on them, so they are definitely a good idea! I've since peeled them off, but looks like I can reuse them for my next occasion, so I will most definitely be doing that!!

Easy to use and look great

I've tried a few of the Teddy Lane nails now and I really enjoy using them. Being a nurse I cant wear nail polish or have long nails so these are a perfect alternative for me. I find them easy to use, you simply pick out what size suits each nail add some glue and stick them down. The pack comes with a file so you can take off some length or shape as desired. I mostly use these for events or a night out as they can be easily soaked off with warm water and gently removed. I've had no damage to my real nails with using these either. I did find that on one occasion I lost 2 nails during the night, so not sure if that was my own fault for not using enough glue or if this regularly happens. There are spare nails included in the kit so you can always just glue on a spare one if one does come off.

Tips: If you take care of them you can keep reusing them, great value for money! They do say they can last up to 10 days however I haven't tried to make them last that long.

Teddy Lane Jewlled Collection

Received my Teddy Lane Jeweled collection packet a view days after my invite - Wow they are so glamorous! Beautifully packaged and displaying the Aquamarine colours. My daughter was instantely jealous!

The package contains 24 nails and I was very impressed with the sizes - I have pretty slim fingers and small nails and I could easily find sizes to fit.

It comes with a small tube of glue and a small nail file to easilily shape where needed. It was pretty easy to stick them on and did take note as directed not to wet your fingers for the first hours - nine days in the are still intact and I have not noted and nicks or chips yet.

I have an office job and repeatedly point out important information in reports to management and co-workers and have received various compliments over the last 9 days I have been wearing them. I have to agree they look gorgeous!

Some of mine had diamanté beautifully place on one side of the nail - it was great because i would never have been able to place them so precisely.

Overall I’m pretty impressed - at the $25 price i would probably only buy them for a special event - they are quick to apply, look beautiful and the easy to take with you as a travel size.

Tips: Follow the instructions - especially don’t get your fingers wet a hour after applying!

I got the jewelled ones too and liked that the jewels didn't fall off - I expected they would after a few days! I loved the way they looked - very classy.

French Connection!

I am pleased I picked up a set of these nails in the beauty vault. They make me feel a little fancy, and bring me back to my youth of terrible dollar store nails. These are definitely a lot nicer than those ones!

I was pleased to see how many different sizes of nails there were, and easily found 10 that fit my fingernails. I was disappointed in the fact that there were only a few glittery ones, but after checking the site I realized that the glittery ones are supposed to be on the pinky finger. I wish there were more.

The instructions are fairly simple, clean nails, apply glue in a blob for 10 days or a strip for a few days, leave until glue is tacky and hold onto the nail. Easy peasy. Once on the nails file easily, much like real nails which is awesome.

I got 5 days of wear before I got annoyed with the nails. I could feel my natural nail underneath, and I was always smacking the nails accidentally. I believe I could have easily got 10 days wear, if not longer had I not been annoyed.

Removal was easy as well, if not a little uncomfortable. I soaked my fingers in warm water with a bit of coconut oil to #treatyoself, and then I used a orange stick thing to help get them off. I went from the sides as that was easiest for me. But otherwise, they came off easy, they're still in good condition so they're reusable, and next time I might look and painting them a different color. Best of all, they haven't damaged my nails. Too bloody awesome.

Natty Nails

These cool nails come in a stylish black box with Teddy Lane branding. There are 24 nails, a nail buffer, and glue. The instructions are on the outside of the box.

I got the shade, 'jeweled amethyst' and they are gorgeous - most are a mauve/lavender/egg-shell blue kind of shade and some have 5 jewels decorating the bottom near the cuticle. Some of them are white/gray marble for contrast.

So I read the instructions (for once) then lined up the nails that I'd measured against my real nails. I almost got it right too! Then glued and pressed them on, one at a time. It is sooo easy. I'd like to pretend I got them all perfectly straight, but I'm pretty gumby so some are slightly off centre, but it's not really noticeable. They needed a little buffing on the edges which was also easy.

The nails themselves are very strong. After 5 days there are no scratches, tears, or marks of any kind on them. And none of the jewels have fallen off either - and I'm not gentle on my hands and nails, so that's saying something. They all look exactly the same as they did when I applied them.

These jeweled nails are $28.99 which is a great price considering how long they look good for, and that they're excellent quality. There are lots of fabulous colours on the site to choose from. And if you're more careful than me, you should probably get two full sets from the box.

I highly recommend them.

Tips: Use lots of hand cream before you apply them so that your hands look as nice as the nails!!!

Ex acrylic user

For someone who used to pay $60 to get a set of acrylics, I was very impressed with the Teddy Lane nails pricewise, at $28.99 a set, they're decent. The range of colours and patterns in all shapes and sizes is awesome and I love that they don't look cheap. I tried out the set called CATWALK which is from the 9-5 collection, this was a daring choice for me and I was so stoked with how they looked, I felt fierce with them on. When it came to applying them, it was a bit difficult for someone like me who is inexperienced as I wasn't quick enough to remove the glue from my finger and it ripped off some skin. For someone who is experienced, they will find them easy to apply. They are strong and great for all lines of work concerning durability. overall I would recommend them and I will buy them again.

Tips: Make sure you use the nail template to test out which size fits your fingers.

Pretty but not perfect

I got the Parisian set, a gorgeous combination of rose gold glitter, nude, and white with rose foil accents. The packaging is nice and simple, and includes the nail glue and a small nail file.

I found it a little difficult to match the nails to my fingers. There were lots of narrow ones but my nails tend to be quite wide. My thumb nail was unfortunately the awkward size where one is too big but the next size down is too small. So I ended up filing the pair that were too big down until it fit my nails perfectly. The glitter is a little patchy so I sealed it in with topcoat then matte on top.

The application process was relatively easy: spead some glue on the nail, wait a bit, hold it to your finger and press it down. I held each nail for about a minute, just to get it to really stick on, and so far it seems relatively sturdy. I've had them on for three days now and none have fallen off! Another great thing is that the polish won't chip, so I'm hoping this set will last for a good two weeks before I have to remove them.

Overall not too bad, but I'd like them more if the sizes fit my nails better. Although there are 24 nails, the sizes that don't fit are essentially useless. Also $28 for a two week mani is a little out of my budget, so I don't think I'd purchase them again. These are supposedly reusable, but in order to not rip them off my nails I'd have to use acetone remover, which would likely damage the paint/design.

Not good for petite nails

I tried these in the Bellini Blush set that I won in a prize pack - a set with plain pinky toned brown nails, and nude accent nails with a jewel on top and clear stripes through the nail. I have quite small hands, but this said there were sizes for petite nails so I figured it'd be fine, but these really didn't fit my hands. The set comes with a nail file to file the nails to size which is a nice touch, nail glue, and instructions. I liked that the set has extra nails in it for sizing options, and works out to be two sets worth, and that the instructions provided options for longer term wear, or shorter term wear of the nails. I also liked that these are vegan and cruelty free. However, I didn't like how these performed or looked. The nail glue as you'd expect as a typical nail glue scent and you are supposed to apply it to the centre of the nail for short term wear, press down hard for a short period and you're good to go. I found that the glue didn't stick very well at all, I was able to accidentally pop a few off later the same day I applied, despite following instructions and not letting my hands get wet, which is not what I'd expect for nails of this price. The nails were all really wide, and while there were smaller sizes to accommodate, I didn't find there were enough smaller options so I wouldn't be able to get 2 sets of ten nails out of the 24 pack at all. I know one is meant to file the nails to fit, but the degree to which I had to file them to fit was way too much and I may as well have just painted my own nails! I caution this with that I do have small hands so this won't apply to everyone, but as the product advertising promised it'd fit petite hands I expected it to deliver, I've had better luck with cheap Kmart nails fitting my nails more. I also found while in the packet the nails looked amazing, but when applied, the accent nails did look very plastic due to their design, and tacky. As they have clear stripes running through them, it becomes very clear the nails are plastic, and not acrylics, and I find it looked tacky. The tops of the nails were also really rough and jagged in my packet; while I filed this away, I thought this was poor quality, as I was already happy with the nail length (it was the width that was the issue) so I didn't want to be filing them but I had to. I just found these involved so much work for something that's meant to be fun and easy, and the nails were far too big to fit my hands. I've had better experiences with glue on nails that are a fraction of the price.

Just like the salon, only cheaper!

Never have I ever been a DIY type of girl when it comes to finger nails! However, recently I was unable to get a last minute appointment at any nail place in town, so I went to Farmers and bought a set of these.

My expectations certainly weren't very high, but as I was heading to an awards dinner, I really wanted to compliment my outfit with a nice set of tidy nails.

These were extremely simple to apply, and I was quite impressed with the variety of sizes included in the pack. I have very small hands, and small nail-beds.

I think the entire process took me maybe 15 - 20 minutes from start to finish, including filing them to length.

Overall I was really happy with these. It looked like I'd been and had my nails done, but for less than half the price.

These stayed on for nearly two weeks before they began to lift at the edges.

I'd definitely use these again.

Tips: Don't go overboard with the glue, otherwise you'll end up with an untidy finish.

Fake it till you make it

When my Teddy Lane nails arrived I was very excited to give them a go. We were heat in away for the weekend so I put them in the overnight bag yo try out whilst relaxing in the far north. They were very easy to apply and looked amazing. I filed them down quite a lot as I'm not used to very long nails. They still looked great shorter and the pattern I chose was not compromised. I was very impressed with how natural the nails looked and got many compliments on them from friends, family and shop keepers. The only down side is that they did not adhere as well as I thought they would. I followed all instructions given to a tee but had to reapply one after only half a day of wear. I work in education and wash my hands a lot I also do many jobs with my hands so found they just were suited to this they lasted in total (after reapplying a few here and there) for 3 days. Some nails were damaged and some of the colour was scratched. I would still use these again though for a night out or event as they were stunning and so easy to use.
